The 710164 uses a reinforced outer case and a ribbed inner diameter to improve sealing contact, while the vented design helps move lubricant around the lip and reduce heat accumulation. Compatible With 1982-1990 Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile, and Jeep front applications, this seal is a direct service part for vehicles such as the Chevrolet Cavalier, Pontiac Grand Am, and Jeep Cherokee. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks \u0026amp; Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Helps Address\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOil leakage at the crankshaft sealing area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContaminant intrusion that can accelerate seal wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat-related seal deterioration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproper seating caused by minor surface imperfections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDamage during seal installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify the front-position application and match the vehicle notes before installation.
